Our prediction for this Ligue 1 match:
Monaco play host to Clermont at their Stade Louis II on Matchday 21 and look to return to winning ways following a goalless draw with Nantes. Les Rouges et Blancs are eager to represent France in the Champions League next term, but they will have to be at their sharpest in the remainder of the season if they are to secure a top-three finish. All Wissam Ben Yedder, Axel Disasi, and Youssouf Fofana have been tested positive for coronavirus.
Clermont, on the other hand, are only two points clear of the relegation zone. The visitors are desperate to secure the Ligue 1 survival, but they need to keep on making progress if they are to meet the goal. Anyhow, home win should be considered as Monaco have turned their Stade Louis II into a real fortress. To make things even better for the hosts, Clermont will be without six first-team regulars in Sunday’s clash.
